The room was silent, deathly silent while Emma waited for him to speak. She couldn’t imagine the clause that made him appear so frightening. “ If by any chance, you betray me, Emma Steele, I promise to make your life a living hell,” Asher said, staring at the pale woman seated before him.Emma didn’t know what to make of the information she’d been given. “ You mean, all that was for this?” She asked in bewilderment. “ You are a drama king, Mr. Braxton.” She remarked with a smile, hoping to clear the air. “ That I am, and more. Tell me, Emma, do you agree to my conditions? Are you ready for this?” He asked with an odd smile.“ Yes. Unless you have more hidden agendas, I believe we are good to go. Where do I sign?” Emma picked up a black pen situated on the table, ready to get it all over with.“ At the last page.”That was it. Emma signed the papers and switched copies with Asher who also signed his name on the paper. At the end of the action, they stared at each other, one looking f

The room was deathly silent as they all adjusted to their seats, desperate to get to the conclusion of this nightmare.“ I know that you might feel like the shit right now, but unless you have a valid proof of your continued position as the CEO of Braxton International, You have no right to interfere in this meeting.” The director continued, having gone too far to stop now.“ Audacious. A trait I am yet to find in the three years you worked under this company.” Asher remarked, far from pleased. “ I’m curious to know what gave you this boldness. The impetus, I must say.”“ This isn’t a place to fuel your silly games, Mr Braxton. Dare I say, this is very insensitive on your part, having caused the downfall of the company from its most glorified state to this, and still, hindering the effective and immediate address of the situation, Even going as far as chasing out potential hands, able to resurrect nd reposition Braxton International at the forefront of our esteemed shareholder’s mind

Emma and Mrs. Braxton headed for the most expensive perfume stall in the city, which they were one of the store’s most favored customers given the uniqueness of their reception.She looked around the sea of luxurious scents, deciding she might find something she fancied but was quickly driven away by the price tags.What in the world?! Emma was stunned at the exorbitant prices and as a result, called Mrs. Adams with a little voice, hoping she didn’t already do something that’d put them in debt. She was so broke that she couldn’t take chances with the little money she expected to turn the tides over for her. She felt convinced that any little mishap could send her entire plan and foreseeable future to hell. Someplace she wasn’t quite fond of.Mrs. Braxton spotted a gesturing Emma, wondering if she saw something she liked already. She walked over to her with a kind smile, expecting to see the little gem that caught the attention and heart of Emma within minutes of entry.“ Which is it

“ This woman must be crazy! Is she blind? How does one insert himself into such trouble?” A woman beside Emma said, too focused on the confrontation to see the death glare from her supposed gossip partner.“ She is doing what we ought to have done. How do you feel watching such injustice unfold on that woman?” She asked instead, causing the woman to turn in search of her face.“ Can’t you see or are you also blind? This woman is poor and unable to afford the new and improved Steele Shoes. Why is she causing a ruckus and demanding the impossible? She even spoke of involving a lawyer, Ha! As IF she’d be able to foot the bills incurred after losing to such a big-shot company.” Emma hissed, she couldn’t oppose the fact that if that woman decided to sue Steele Shoes for defective products, the chances of her winning such a suit were similar to none. Steele Shoes was a big fish, she was aware of the millions that went into savings for situations like these which always ended up being judg

Talia and Colton lay on the bed, bare-bodied and covered with a white duvet. After their rounds of vigorous exercise, it was safe to say that their groove was back. The unfortunate thing was that it came at a price. Talia’s phone rang all through the exercise. Courtesy, Mrs. Steele.Every time she tried to pick up, Colton retaliated with a paralyzing stroke, hitting the right places and making her moan in ecstasy. After the fourth attempt, she gave it up and threw her phone far from reach which placed a smug smile on his face. From then on, it was a smooth ride, leading up to this moment of recuperation.Talia held Colton’s phone, skimming through the internet with a smile. Her collection was a success. Day after day, it continued to reach new heights in every aspect of the world. Not only that, she continued to receive a massive outpour of love from every angle, adding to her joy.“ You are yet to congratulate me on my launch.” She said, so calmly that he almost missed it.“ Congratu
